Liverpool, Salah on the verge of a new deal
Another factor in Salah's decision making has been the support and affection he has received in Merseyside
Liverpool are set to finally clinch an agreement with star forward Mo Salah to extend his contract at Anfield after a lengthy impasse, according to reports.
The Reds have been left in a stalemate in negotiations with the Egyptian - who is believed to have rejected a £400,000 a week offer from the club in December.
Salah - widely considered as one of the world's best players - has a deal until the end of next season with the club, but talks with Liverpool reportedly broke down last month - clouding uncertainty over his future.
The 29-year-old has reportedly been looking for a salary in the range of £500,000 a week that would put him in the same bracket as Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, but he has now had a change of heart and is ready to compromise with the club's hierarchy.
That's according to the Mirror, who believe Salah is 'on the brink' of agreeing to a new contract that would see him end his career at Anfield.
Liverpool officials were left fearing the worst after the latest setback in talks with Salah - concerned he could end up running his contract down until summer 2023 before walking away as a free agent, the report adds.
European heavyweights like PSG, Barcelona and Real Madrid also could have pounced on the uncertainty by testing Liverpool's resolve with a cut-price offer.
But now a package is being put together which would see Salah agree a new three year deal with an option for an extra year - it says - effectively meaning he will finish off his career as a Liverpool player.
Another factor in Salah's decision making has been the support and affection he has received in Merseyside, the report goes on, with Liverpool consoling him over his Egypt's failure to reach the World Cup in Qatar.
And with Liverpool still competing for the quadruple this season, Salah's commitment to the club would be a timely boost in their quest for the most successful season yet under Klopp.
Salah could give the team a huge lift in their quest for the quadruple should he clinch new terms
Salah is currently enjoying one of his most clinical seasons in a Liverpool shirt. He's netted 20 in the Premier League - making him the division's top scorer - and 28 goals in all competitions.
It comes after Klopp backed Salah to continue with his brilliant campaign, regardless of uncertainty off the pitch, and said he would not be 'distracted'.
